Although engraving printing had already existed in the early Tang Dynasty,
However, it had not been popularized yet, and the carving process was relatively complicated.
It would take a lot of time just to carve the template for this kind of Tang law with hundreds of thousands of words.
"Yu 'er, this engraving printing technique and engraving template is a technical job. I'm afraid it will take at least a year to write hundreds of thousands of words.”
Li Shi Min said with some doubt.
Li Yu smiled and said,"
"Although there are hundreds of thousands of words in the Tang law, many of them are actually repeated. As long as each word is carved into a template and then combined together to print, the time can be greatly shortened.”
What Li Yu was talking about was the movable type printing technique of the later generations.
"Wonderful! Why didn't I think of this method?”
Li Shi Min was delighted and ordered the craftsmen to start working.
Soon, Li Shi Min and the ministers left.
A few days later…
Li Yu received news from some shops in Chang 'an.
Zhangsun Chong poached several important craftsmen and stole the manufacturing process of soap and other items.
Now, the Zhangsun Clan had also begun to produce soap, fine salt, and other items, and their sales were booming.
"Report to the officials! Let Chang 'an County Magistrate arrest Zhangsun Chong!”
Li Yu said to his shopkeepers.
The shopkeepers were all shocked. Zhangsun Chong was Zhangsun Wuji's son.
Would it be useful to report it to the authorities?
The government couldn't do anything about this!
"When you report this to the officials, let the Chang 'an County Magistrate take a look at the newly promulgated Tang Law, Volume 350 of the intellectual property law.”Li Yu said,
He had already prepared for a rainy day to prevent anyone from stealing his manufacturing process.
When the shopkeepers heard the word intellectual property, they were all stunned.
What was the meaning of this?
However, the shopkeepers followed Li Yu's instructions and reported the case to the Chang 'an County Magistrate.
When the Chang 'an County Magistrate heard that they were going to capture Zhangsun Chong of the Zhangsun Clan, he was a little afraid.
However, upon hearing that this was the intention of the little imperial grandson, Li Yu,
Chang 'an County Magistrate did not dare to hesitate!
They immediately sent out bailiffs to seal up the Zhangsun Clan's shop and brought Zhangsun Chong to the court to plead guilty.
Zhangsun Chong was also dumbfounded!
"Dog official! What right do you have to arrest me!"
Zhangsun Chong swore righteously.
"Young Master Zhangsun, please calm down. This is the wish of the little imperial grandson.”When the Chang 'an County Magistrate began to interrogate him, it was a harmonious scene.
"How preposterous! Is there any law in this world?”Zhangsun Chong argued,
"Dog official, you flatter the imperial grandson like this! You treat the laws of the Great Tang as nothing! This young master will definitely have my father give you a piece of his mind in front of His Majesty!”
The Chang 'an County Magistrate was angered by the term dog official. He said angrily,"
"Young Master Zhangsun, please have some self-respect!
According to the new decree of the Tang Empire, Volume 350 of the intellectual property law,
Your Zhangsun family's shop is producing soap and other items without patent permission. It's suspected of violating the little imperial grandson's intellectual property rights!
According to the law, he was fined 300 strings, whipped 30 times and imprisoned for three months.”
When Zhangsun Chong heard this, he was truly dumbfounded!
Tang law?
What was going on? Since when did Tang law have such a law that he was completely unfamiliar with?
"This is impossible! You're lying to me!" Zhangsun Chong still couldn't believe it.
The Chang 'an County Magistrate took out the chapter on intellectual property rights in the Tang law and handed it to Zhangsun Chong so that he could read it clearly!
"Do you see this? This is the new law of the Tang Empire issued by His Majesty. There's even a jade seal on it! Young Master Zhangsun, how can I forge the laws of the Tang Dynasty and deceive the emperor?”
Zhangsun Chong's face turned pale with fright. He had been defeated!
His mind went blank as if he was dreaming. Suddenly, he felt a chill on his back.
Zhangsun Chong felt like he was being played by Li Yu.
It was too terrifying!
"Men, fight!"
The Chang 'an County Magistrate ordered the bailiffs to give Zhangsun Chong thirty sticks and put him in prison.
However, with Zhangsun Wuji bailing him out, Zhangsun Chong was quickly released from prison.
However, those thirty strokes were all real. He probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed for a while.
"Father, I feel wronged!”
When Zhangsun Chong returned home, he lay on his bed and cried.
"There's nothing you can do about it. You'd better admit it. The Tang law has just been revised, and it's time to strictly enforce the law.”
Zhangsun Wuji didn't dare to defy the laws of the Tang Empire. He had already taken a huge risk by rescuing his son from prison in advance.
"Father, but I didn't even understand what intellectual property meant and was beaten up. I really can't accept it!”
Zhangsun Chong cried like a child.
Zhangsun Wuji sighed." Chong-er, I didn't really understand intellectual property back then, but after a long time, I finally understood."
To put it simply, if you also want to produce items like soap, you have to pay Li Yu money.
If they didn't, they would be violating this law and would be punished by the government.”
"This…this Li Yu, he's a devil! To think that he could come up with such a ridiculous law!”Zhangsun Chong really wanted to cry.
"Chong-er, don't underestimate this decree. It is beneficial for a thousand years. Otherwise, why would His Majesty agree to it?”Zhangsun Wuji said.
Zhangsun Chong had nothing to say. He laid on the bed and cried out loud.
……
At this moment, Li Yu received news of Zhangsun Chong's punishment and smiled.
With this intellectual property law, he could collect royalties and make money while lying down.
He was no longer afraid of people stealing his various manufacturing techniques.
Right at this moment,
Princess Chang Le hurried back to her bedroom and saw that she was sweating.
He looked anxious as if something bad had happened.
Following behind her was Imperial Physician Sun from the Imperial Academy of Medicine.
Imperial Physician Sun was the doctor who diagnosed Princess Changle's pulse when she was pregnant.
Why did he come here?
Princess Chang Le walked in front of Li Yu and took out a porcelain bottle. She placed it on the ground and said,
Then, without a word, he wanted to tear Li Yu's clothes off.
"Yu 'er, hurry up and pee."
Princess Changle picked up the three-and-a-half-year-old Li Yu.
Li Yu was speechless.
Uh…What was going on?
"Yu 'er, mother is seriously ill. Imperial Physician Sun prescribed a medicine to prolong her life, but it requires virgin boy urine as a drug primer.”
Princess Chang Le explained.
Li Yu understood. It was now the eleventh year of Zhenguan. Empress Zhangsun's time had really come.
But…he really didn't want to pee at this moment.
